2014 was an explosive year for The Soul Rebels,
riding high from touring four continents including Europe, Australia
for the second year, debuting in China, selling out shows in New York
City, collaborating with artists spanning from Joey Bada$$, Big Freedia,
Lotus and The String Cheese Incident to sharing stages with Kanye West,
The Allman Brothers Band, Gary Clark, Jr., John Mayer, Jack White, Dave
Mathews and Disclosure. Closing out the year, The Soul Rebels
toured with Trombone Shorty and returned home to record the New Orleans

iconic festival as "Soul Rebels, the soundtrack of Jazz Fest 2015."

McGee and Michael Franti, shows with Rakim, Pharoahe Monch, Lettuce,
Soulive, Black Thought and Joey Bada$$, collaborations, major festival
appearances world-wide, recording a new album produced by Eric Krasno
